Every year 430,000 Europeans die prematurely due to air pollution. One of the main sources is road vehicles emitting nitrogen oxides (NOx), including poisonous nitrogen dioxide. Following the Volkswagen scandal, in which the company admitted cheating emission test in the US, Parliament and the Council are considering to update existing emission rules to ensure tests are closer to real driving conditions.
To help prepare new legislation, Parliament`s environment committee held a hearing on 23 February to find out...

The revised Final-Form Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) 2 Rule was approved by the Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board (EQB) on November 17, 2015. It’s now in the last administrative stages on its way to being finalized and published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. As an air quality rule that applies to major sources located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, RACT 2 could potentially have a significant impact on a facility’s nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compound...

As of January 1, 2015 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) has been implementing the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) through a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) that primarily impacts electric generating units (EGUs).
This article reviews the transition of the Clear Air Interstate Rule and nitrogen oxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) allowances to CSAPR allowances and rules. Read on for an explanantion of how this affects the state and local air pollution control agencies, specifically how...

While it`s not always easy to determine what`s required for compliance, new technologies can help achieve air-pollution control
Selecting air-pollution control equipment can be tricky. It`s not only difficult to determine which pollutants must be controlled, but also which type of equipment will best control them to required levels for any given process or facility because there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution. Technologies that successfully control pollutants in one facility may not work as well in another....
